Seminar on Aerospace and LEO Satellite Systems Successfully Held

Organized by National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST), the Seminar on Aerospace and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Systems Manufacturing and Applications was successfully held on March 28, 2025. The event gathered speakers from academia and industry to discuss the development and applications of LEO satellite technologies.

The seminar topics included Aerospace Component Manufacturing, Communication Applications, and Ground Station Operations. A special panel session was also held for industry representatives to share insights on talent development and industry-academia collaboration.

BWant Shares Challenges in LEO Satellite Antenna Design and International Certification

BWant was invited to participate, with our General Manager, Dr. Tsung-Wen Chiu (Kelvin), delivering a talk titled Challenges in LEO Antenna Design and International Certification.

Dr. Chiu highlighted that Taiwan's entry into the satellite market faces challenges due to the absence of global unified standards. Unlike ground communication systems with established protocols like 3GPP and CTIA, the testing methods and standards for LEO ground terminals are still under development.

To address this, BWant actively participates in GSOA to contribute to standardizing LEO terminal antenna testing. We are also in the process of becoming an Authorized Test Entity (ATE).

Dr. Chiu also discussed practical challenges faced by academia and companies in antenna design, such as long measurement times and equipment interference, and introduced BWant's own solutions that balance precision and efficiency.

Professor Lu Shares Design Insights and Uses MW5a for Validation

Professor Jui-Han Lu of NKUST presented his research on Antenna Design for LEO Systems and explained how he validated his design using BWant's MW5a system at NKUST.

MW5a is BWant's OTA measurement solution tailored for high-frequency antenna-in-package and wafer designs. It integrates a probe station with a shielded environment. The probe station is set outside the isolation chamber, reducing interference while ensuring stable probing.

Looking ahead, BWant will continue collaborating with academia and industry to contribute to the LEO satellite ecosystem and explore Taiwan’s potential in the global satellite communications market.
